Halloween Costume Dance Oct. 27

 Best dance of the season!  Our Halloween Costume Dance even topped the Sock Hop in September.  Ian Craig called and Christina Corelli cued, each doing a super great job for us and delighting the crowd of dancers.  At one point we had five squares on the dance floor, starting with two for plus and ending with three for a final tip just after 10PM.  We had guests from Roseburg join us, including the president of the Buckeroos and our own member Glen Nielsen and his fiancee Kathy.    Our club cuer Jackie Gale has had to take a leave of absence as her husband Bill has  a couple of health issues and the drive over from Sweet Home at this time of year can belong, dark, at times dangerous.  We certainly do miss her and wish Bill well again soon.

The Emerald Square Dance Center was decorated to thehilt by our president Joy Pitts and her sister and Vice President Melba Walker with help from their niece Janet Geiger.  Wow!  Every corner was done up and got the crowd of dancers in the mood.   Ian and Christina found some really fun music for us to dance to.  Thanks to all who participated in the costume contest with Janet and John getting best couple costume.  Our president Joy came as a prisoner in black and white stripes complete with chains. There were plenty of other creative costumes to admire especially Kathy's Nefertiti (see photos below).  Quite the eye catcher.  Thank you one and all!

Here are some fun photos from that night.

Our next dances will be in November, on the third and fourth Friday, Nov. 17 and Nov. 24. The theme for the 17th will be Pie 'N Ice Cream and for the 24 it will be Turkey Dance.  Craig Abercrombie will call and cue for us on th e 17th, and Roger Putzler will call for us on the 24.    Please come join us for these two fun dances.

Our Western Hoe Down and Chili Feed Dance held on Oct. 20 was a lot of fun.  Margaret McVey won the chili making contest (she is really good cook!) and Judy Melendrez won the jelly bean in a jar counting contest.  Way to go, Judy!  Our president Joy Pitts had evryone put on hats and fake mustaches to have photos taken like in an old timey wanted poster.  How fun and creative she is.

Bruce Lowther called and his wife Judy Russell cued for us.  There were two squares on the floor which is considered a good turnout these days.  

We hope our 4th Friday dance with a Halloween theme will see lots of ghosts and goblins out to dance to Ian Craig and Jackie Gale.  See you all there.
